45 years ago on Christmas Eve I gave a cute little 18 y.o. redhead a ring, a promise, and a stuffed tiger. This Christmas Eve I have the ring and the tiger and I kept the promise but my little redhead joined the angels Dec. 16. She fought a 7 year battle against the side effects and complications of breast cancer chemo. She beat the cancer but the treatment got her. R.I.P. Dusty

I am sorry Dusty.
I wish I could say something to help you.
The Ford behind you looks like a 69 or 70.
Snazzy new pickup/girl catcher.
It looks like it worked.
 
wjy,

I can only imagine the sense of loss that you are experiencing. I hope that you have lots of family and friends to be near during this time of grieving.

I read a book one time where the author said, "Precious in the sight of the LORD, is the death of his saints." We don't know, but God knows.

So Sorry for your loss wjytexas.
Hope you can find the strength to help pull you thru these Holidays.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in your heart.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.
 
Very sorry for your loss. I understand what you are going through. Lost my wife to cancer, same day, two years ago. Prayer sent. Ken
 
Mine too as the others.

Lost my teen age sweetheart wife of 48.5 yrs in 2010 due to a heart attack. Caught me totally off guard.

On Chemo, it's not all bad. I had terminal lymphnode cancer in 2013. Took the prescribed 6 treatments (which I had earlier said I'd never do but seemed to be the thing to do at the time) which terminated in Sept of that year. Been clean ever since and feel fine.

On where do you go from here, give yourself time to sort things out. I realized after a couple of months that things were going down hill and I was lonely. I did something about it and have been happy for the last 4 years. Was the right thing for me to do. May or not be the right thing for you. Keep a positive attitude and get on with your life. She would have wanted you to do that.

My condolences on your loss. She looks like someone who made the years you had together happy- treasure the memories, and just keep puttin' one foot in front of the other.
 
Sorry For your loss. 21 years ago to day I laid to rest My first wife. 34 years old. We had been married 13.5 years. Life goes on whether you want it too or not.

I am sorry for your loss. But we have a thing in common. My and I got married Dec 24, 1964 when I was in the Army. It was the best thing I ever did in my life. This year has been trying with me breaking my left arm at the begining of harvest and Marilyn having the third cardiac ablation. We are still going and like all farmers, next year will be better! I hope!
 
There are no words that can express your loss. Just try to remember the good times over the bad. She will always be with you in your heart.
 

Dusty, Sorry for your loss. This is a difficult time of year to be alone. Cherish her memory and the years you had together. Prayers sent. Richard
 
wjy, sorry to hear about your loss and prayers go out to you. I lost my father (age 76) unexpectantly in 2010 just after Christmas. However, even though I tend to be a little pessimistic about my life I am far to often reminded of other people's situations (such as yours) that make my problems look very minuscule in comparison. I don't know if your bride gave you any children, but either way draw close to family and friends during the holidays this will help ease the pain.
 
I have read your post a few times, and I just can't find the words. I do know, that many things are known only to the master, and they are not always for us to understand. I pray that in time, your pain will be replaced with happy memories, and thoughts of things to come.
 
Thanks for sharing the pics. Those and memories are all we are left with when God has plans for us. She knows you are sharing them as she would do the same for you. You know she's saving a special place for you when you both meet up again. Same age as my wife and I. I'm sorry for the time you will be apart but have faith that God has a plan. RB
 
"and I kept the promise" surely must make you feel good in a time like this! My heart goes out to you and yours. God's blessings on you.
